Check out what our Activity Execs have been cooking up recently. Trip recaps are also posted on our Instagram.
MacMOC Winter Olympics!
The MacMOC Olympics is a yearly competition that occurs during the winter semester. Teams of four will compete in various challenges to see who will come out on top. In previous years, challenges have included table bouldering, relay races, speed tent building, sled pulling, and more!
Ice Climbing
Every winter, MacMOC organizes an ice climbing trip. Participants will be taught to scale the ice using proper mountaineering gear under the supervision of instructors. This activity is very beginner friendly.
MacMOC Mixer
At the beginning of each semester, we host a mixer event in the Ceilidh - the campus pub. Come join us for a fun night of games and snacks, get to meet other outdoor enthusiasts on campus, and talk to the Exec!

Canoeing
From introduction to canoeing lessons to week-long trips in the Adirondacks, much canoeing occurs throughout the fall. Many of these activities are beginner friendly - as long as you're willing to paddle!
Hiking
Activity execs will organize plenty of hikes around Montreal and occasionally in the Adirondacks throughout the fall and spring. Hikes can be overnight or just day trips. Birding, tracking, and bioblitzing hikes are also organized from time to time.
Learn To Sail
In collaboration with the McGill Sailing Team, MacMOC organizes a full-day Learn to Sail session at Pointe Claire Yacht Club. Participants will learn how to rig and sail z420s in teams of two. This activity is perfect for beginners but also for those with more experience who are just looking to go out for a day on the water!
Skiing
Whether it's downhill, cross-country, ski-touring, or more, MacMOC organizes many skiing activities in the winter. Trips vary from evening downhill skiing at nearby mountains (very beginner friendly) to multi-day cross-country ski backpacking (maybe a bit more advanced).
